About Living the Good Life
How one family changed their world from their own backyard. Imagine not needing money. Not for bills -- there are none. Not for food -- you grow or make it all yourself. Not for transport -- you have a bike. For six months, Linda Cockburn's family will live sustainably on only a suburban block. By drawing all their power from the sun, harvesting their water from the rain and growing enough produce to give them variety, they will do something positice for the environment and for themselves. This is a practical, fascinating and inspiring read that will have you looking afresh at your own backyard.
About Linda Cockburn
Linda Cockburn was born in New Zealand in 1968. Of her 5 siblings she was judged the least likely to garden due to a horror
of accumulating dirt under her fingernails, but now she's managed to accrue at least a few kilos of that. She recently made
the mistake of pondering the ability to live in a domestically sustainable way on 2180 sq m, and spent the last five years
working towards that goal, dragging her partner Trev and son Caleb with her.
